What was the hardest Elite 4 to defeat?

[Pikamiki]

I think it was the hoenn E4 for me

[Alder]

Kanto. Johto was a pushover, because I hyped up my Typhlosion to 100. hoenn was harder, but still pretty easy. Steven murdered me a couple times, but Groudon fissured him out. Emerald-Hoenn was even easier with Sceptile and a Lv 72 Rayquaza. Umm, Sinnoh...fail. Aaron easy, Bertha easy, Flint really easy, Lucian kinda tricky with Bronzong, Cynthis was abotu half as hard as Steven.

It took me a bit to get through Kanto's elite four when I first started playing, but I was younger and didn't use strategy like I do now. I kind of think I'm better at the games now than I was when I was younger so it's tough to compare.

I have to say Sinnoh was tough. I beat Johto and Hoenn pretty easily, but Sinnoh gave me a lot of trouble especially the final two. I actually barely beat Cynthia in the end and I've only gone through once so far.

I remember finding Kanto easy, even though I could have only been like, 12 at the time. I rocked the legendary birds (I figured "hey, legendary, they must be good at stuff!") and blastoise. Articune destroyed Lance until he rock throw'd, and then blastoise finished up. I'm pretty sure I had a magmar or something to take out Gary's exeggutor and venusaur.

The real challenge was catching Mewtwo without a master ball.

[I cant think of a name]

For me it was Kanto, but that's just because I was 5-6 when i got red version, I would defeat them with ease now.

[Tezuka Kunimitsu]

i would have to say johto because of stupid koga and his ariados and forretress

[EmpoleonRules]

For me, Kanto was real hard. It took me about like 2 months to pass them.

[Palamon]

I found Sinnoh the hardest..
Hoenn easy With Rayquaza.
Kanto- Easy pie.

[littlerain]

It might have been because I was 11, but man I remember playing blue and just getting killed over and over again by Lance and his stupid dragons. I don't remember Gary actually being that hard though....
When I did the remakes...well I was 19 so they weren't as hard as I remember.

For anyone who played blue and red and then did leaf green and fire red later, which do you think was harder?

[Moo66]

Hoenn, just because of the wierd types. Dark, Ghost, Dragon, and then you get to Steven, who just has to have Steel and Rock types.

[Firehawk10590]

Kanto, by far. Sinnoh was the easiest.

[chimchar19]

I think sinnoh.

[Sharks Shouldn't Fly]

I would have to go with Kanto, since back then there was really no easy way to beat Agatha, since dark-types hadn't been invented yet and there weren't very many ground-type moves.

In Johto, Lance was the only one that was really tough. Hoenn would be second because of all the weird types they had, and I beat Sinnoh on the first try.

[lightlanayru]

I'd mostly say Kanto...my own rival was the most challenging to beat, besides Agatha and Lance. I've never fought the Johto E4...although I helped my friend out with that. The Hoenn and Sinnoh E4 was a bit too easy.

[FliCe]

1 kanto
2 sinnoh
3 johto
4 hoenn

[ralfchar]

Kanto (red game) waz hard 'cause of Bruno... mt Charizard had some trouble but was able to win...
the other E4 from kanto where also pretty hard for me since, most of them were my weeknesses... my team in Red was Charizard, Pidgeot, Graveler(didn't trade it so it didin't evolve), and the others I forgot xP

[Omastar ftw!]

Sinnoh for me. That garchomp was evil! I got lucky and OHKO'd it because my amazing Abomasnow's ice punch got a crit!

[TheFeebas]

I'll have to go with the Status Quo and say Kanto, but only Kanto 3rd Gen. And only the 2nd time.

I actually think Kanto hit the nail directly on the head upgrading their Pokémon after you beat them. It's the most realistic. I mean, if you beat the Elite 4, surely they'll go train until they're stronger, and give you a tougher time on each consectutive attempt.


Kanto in the 3rd Gen throws a real curve ball, something no other Elite 4 does.

[pichu96]

Jhoto was so hard for me, it took me whole month to beat it...probably because I had one level 60 and the rest were under level 30! LOL

[Zadros]

I've never found any of them particularly difficult, to be honest. I might say Kanto, because at the time it was the hardest. The fact that I'm ten or so years older now seems to make a difference in my battling strategy...
